Gopherspace: the tip is the best!

There's been some discussion lately[1,2,3],

kicked off by jynx, about how the easily

visible phlogosphere is just the tip of the

gopher iceberg and that there's lots of

really good content out there on gopher

that's a little harder to find.

I want to play devil's advocate a bit and say

that, IMHO, the easily visible phlogosphere

is the best part of gopherspace! Maybe

it's just me, but I find it very hard to get

excited about automatically-generated Gopher

frontends to web content, piles of binary

files for obsolete computer platforms, yet

another textfiles.org mirror, etc.

Gopher-exclusive and community-oriented

content being actively created for Gopher

gopher today is way, way more interesting

and exciting for me. Floodgap, frankly, puts

me to sleep.

I'm not saying all that stuff is bad

content and that I wish it wasn't there.

It's not and I don't, it's valuable and I'm

glad it's out there. I'm sure it's useful to

a lot of people. But if that's all that

there was to Gopherspace, it'd be somewhere I

visited out of curiosity once every six

months or so.

It's possible that my above characterisation

of Gopherspace beyond the phlogosphere is out

of date. If you think that's true, how about

sharing some links to the best non-phlog

content out there?
